Do you need (or want) a podcast co-host? 
First off, you do not need a podcast co-host. The beauty of podcasting is that anyone can do it and the barrier to entry is incredibly low, this includes doing content by yourself. Here are some pros and cons of having a podcast co-host. 
 
Today’s Hosts: Todd Cochrane and MacKenzie Bennett 
Reviewing the pros and cons of having a podcast co-host 
 
 
 
Pros 
 
 	Content collaboration 
 	Less stress involved in execution 
 	A fun working relationship with a colleague, friend, etc. 
 	Consistent tone and messaging coming from the show 
 	Delegated responsibilities 
 	Conversations and content flow better as opposed to speaking to yourself 
 
Technology advancements have greatly changed multi person podcast capabilities. 
Cons 
 
 	Less creative control with a co-host 
 	Sharing monetary earnings 
 	No legal disputes over intellectual property and content if you do not have a co-host 
 
 	Basically any kind of legal issue that may arise 
 
 
 	How to end the show or part ways 
 
Not everyone will be interested in having a podcast co-host and for good reason. Not all shows are meant to have that duo (or more) dynamic and that's one of the great things about podcasting, you can forge ahead at your own pace and create a wonderful podcast all on your own.
